Raw Footage: Protesters march on Westwood

By Rei Estrada | NOV 10

On Nov. 9, 2011, eleven people were arrested and protesters shut down Wilshire Boulevard for two and a half hours in the loudest pushback against tuition hikes and state budget cuts near UCLA since 2009. See high-definition raw footage of the event here.

Online Poll: ASUCLA Sales

ASUCLA profits have hit a record low this quarter, especially at the Ackerman bookstore, Bear Wear and the computer store. What can Ackerman do to attract more students?

	More sales - the annual Valentine's Day, Halloween and Christmas sales aren't enough.
	Not much can be done to attract more student consumers - prices are high compared to other commercial institutes with the same products.
	ASUCLA should look into lowering prices overall and offering more incentives or deals specifically to students.
